cute fuzzy bunny
Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
So we're out for a walk today and we're approached by a totally emaciated cat. Big guy lengthwise, but he's down to bones and skin. He has a tag on, and it shows the address of the house we're standing in front of. Big 3000 square footer, immaculate lawn and apparently well furnished. Nobodys home. Garage door is open about enough for a cat to squeeze under.
After a short debate, we brought the cat home and fed it. I'm going to guess he had another day, maybe two in him before he kicked the bucket.
I called the number on the tag, which was on a collar about 3" too big for his neck (which shows recent weight loss to me), got an automated recording to leave a message.
I dont know if its someone that went on vacation and left him with a bowl of food that was eaten by something else, had their pet service not show up, if they died in their own house, or if they're one of those super pet owners that just doesnt feed the animal.
The presence of a collar tag says to me that they're probably not in the category that doesnt give a crap about the cat.
My plan is to wait until later today, see if someone calls, then decide what to do from there.
The cats obviously not being taken care of. I really cant keep it, i'm way over-animal as it is. Then the secondary question is if the owner calls and wants the cat back and is happy with how they're treating it, what do I do?
